Daniel J. Garzella originally established our insurance agency in 2003 with Farmers Insurance. In the time we were a Farmers Insurance Agency we were recognized as a President's Council agency as the top ½% of all multi-line insurance agents in the nation, an Elite Commercial agency as the top ½% of all commercial agents in the nation, various awards for Life Insurance, and our most noteworthy accomplishment of being nominated for Commercial Agent of the Year twice (Top 5 out of 15,000 agents).
In light of all of our accomplishments, Dan saw both the need and the opportunity to separate from Farmers Insurance and create his own independent brokerage to better serve his clients, and fulfill on his vision of creating his own company and brand on not only a local, but also a national basis. In 2014, he established The Garzella Group Insurance and Financial Services Brokerage with three distinct divisions:
Garzella Personal Insurance Services handles the home and auto insurance for the brokerage. Our greatest benefit is that we have options; lots of them. 74% of the personal lines market is controlled by the big name, advertised carriers such as Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, etc. What many people do not realize is there are brokers such as us that can access all of them. Having access to these options, takes rate out of the equation, and allows us to focus on protection.
Garzella Risk Management and Consulting handles all business insurance for the brokerage. Our success in the business insurance world gives us a knowledgebase and contacts that exceeds our competition, allowing us to put together a comprehensive insurance solution at a fraction of the cost. We write business insurance from the individual business owner locally all the way to the corporate entity; operating on a national basis from Main Street business to large property schedules and everywhere in between.
Garzella Wealth Consultants is our Life and Financial Services division. We look for products that have Living benefits when put in place and look to educate our clients on a comprehensive solution whether it is insurance related to: a buy-sell agreement for their business, estate planning for their estate, or term and permanent insurance options for their family.
We invite you to experience all that our agency has to offer. Let's discuss what concerns you have about your insurance and we will tailor a competitive custom built policy, just for you.
We hope to hear from you soon!
